    This is the best cleanser I have managed to find that doesn't aggravate my rosacea and keeps my skin clear. Even at 41, I am slightly oily in the T-zone area and stiff suffer the occasional...

    What's that line from Drake? "You my right hand, you my go-to." Yeah, Effaclar Purifying Gel Cleanser.. you're my go-to. I'm a huge fan of gel-based cleansers and this one truly takes the cake!...

    Pretty good, doesn't irritate my skin, I used this for quite a while but I've recently found that it has been drying my skin out.

    Works well with my combination skin. I like the way it foams and it feels like it cleans deep down. I use a moisturizer immediately after washing and it locks in moisture.

    I`m using this washing gel for only 3 days and it dryed out and calmed fresh pimples, they are less visible. But it also dryed face skin overall, so it is necessary to peel of dead skin and put on...

    I have been trying to use this up for months and it just DOES NOT GO. So it's good for longevity but that's about it. Way too expensive for basically a sensitive face wash. Why on earth they say...

    If you have an extremely oily acne-prone skin and you like foaming cleanser, I'd say, give it a go. But be careful not to use it too much as it can be really drying. For me, this is just not my cup...

    I switched to this after my skin started reacting badly to my previous HG (Cerave Hydrating Cleanser). For a while it looked like this cleanser could be my new HG cleanser, and thankfully I...

    This product did a great job of cleansing my face of all excess oils and dirt but it irritated my eyes way too much and left me with very dry patches. I would not recommend this product to anyone...

    It feels a bit dry (on the cheeks) if I use it in winter. When I have bad skin condition it irritates my eye area and my pimples.
